eSUN eBox filament dryer review
When I got the first 3D printer and had only a few meters of demo filament, I didn't realize the purpose of a filament dryer like the eSUN eBox. Later, when I started to test more and more types and colors of filaments, I ended up with many started spools.
Most 3D printing filaments are highly hygroscopic, fastly absorbing ambient...

Elegoo PLA: Cheap 3D filament for big projects
I mostly printed drone parts in my last filament reviews, so I decided to try something else this time. Using Elegoo PLA filament, I printed a vertical modular hydroponic tower system for plants. My wife was happy to find out that she would always have fresh herbs at home.
Hydroponic tower gardens are becoming popular, especially among urban gardeners, due...

Elegoo Mars 5 and Mars 5 Ultra: Budget Resin 3D printers with high-end features
Elegoo, our favorite 3D printer brand, just announced the release of two new budget resin 3D machines. While the Mars 5 "Standard" is equipped with a 6.6-inch 4K Mono LCD, the more advanced Mars 5 Ultra with a 7-inch 9K Mono LCD. A higher resolution means, better accuracy, finesse, and print quality. The price difference between the two models...
SUNLU 3D Printer Enclosure: An absolutely essential accessory!
3D printers are like dust magnets; if you don't cover them with something in a few days, they will be covered by a fine layer of particles. Moving parts are greased with vaseline, from which the dirt is difficult to remove. The SUNLU 3D Printer Enclosure offers excellent protection against dust and water and provides the constant temperature required...

FLSUN S1 and T1: Enclosed High-Speed Delta 3D printers
This week, I was contacted by FLSUN on the occasion of the launch of two new 3D printer models. FLSUN S1 and T1 adopt a delta design and enclosed full metal frame structure. Besides the different build volumes, these two machines have many other significant differences, which is expected as the S1 costs two times more than the T1.
Besides...
